Someone gave me 1,000 each Berry's 200 gr FP and 135 gr FP Total Copper Jacketed Bullets, no manufacturer specified. I have published loading data for both and know to load the Berry's as if lead, but wonder if these are for any special purposes. I'm guessing the 200 gr might be for a supressed weapon. Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations.
Berries uses a heavier plating than Rainer's, so you can load them heaver than just std lead if you want. As far as use I have no idea, except to make them feed better.

I have shot 200gr lead bullets through both my P229 and Para P16. I like Heavy+Slow for IPSC. I have not shot 200gr jacketed bullets though. If I had them, I wouldn't think twice about doing it.
